Mobility is changing.
And Volkswagen
Caminhões e Ônibus
is leading the path.
To recharge our brand for the new mobility,
we’ve updated our brand tonality: giving
a fresh uplift to the core values that have
shaped our DNA (human, inviting, focussed
and with a sense of humor) and adding
a new value (stimulating), which should
remind us to never stop moving forward,
never stop inspiring and unleashing
excitement.
